(Minghui.org) My son’s first marriage came to an end in the spring of 2022, and he was upset about it. His marital situation weighed heavily on my heart—I didn’t want things to turn out that way.

I knew that nothing happens by chance, and his divorce probably stemmed from karmic issues, so I couldn’t force things. I thus immersed myself in studying and reciting the Fa, and tried hard to let go of emotional attachments to my son and his former wife.

My son subsequently made the major decision to quit his well-paying job and open his own business. He worked tirelessly there, leaving home early and returning late, and thoroughly enjoyed his new venture.

Xiao Xin then came into his life. She was a colleague from his former workplace, and was raising a seven-year-old daughter on her own. She had a job and helped manage my son’s business in her spare time.

My son developed feelings for Xiao Xin and became fond of her. I noticed his feelings for her, and I kind of repelled her. Their relationship deepened, however, and they decided to get married and start a life together.

Dafa reminded me that I should treat everyone compassionately. As a practitioner, I should follow Master’s teachings and treat everyone I encounter with kindness. Xiao Xin also took on a tutoring job, which kept her busy. Therefore, I made steamed buns and dumplings for her and her daughter, and delivered them to her, or she picked them up. Xiao Xin and her daughter liked fillings with celery, so I often made celery buns and dumplings for them.

I once gave them chive dumplings because Xiao Xin liked chives too. Her daughter asked if they were celery dumplings and responded, “I love the ones with celery!”

The little girl was happy when I said, “Alright, next time grandma will make celery dumplings for you.”

Xiao Xin’s daughter was overjoyed when I brought her the celery dumplings. I truly liked the little girl, and didn’t treat her differently because she was not my biological granddaughter. I reminded myself, “Treat everyone the same and with compassion. and look at them as if they are my kin.”

A few days ago, Xiao Xin picked out a spring outfit for me. Her daughter said, “Grandma often makes dumplings for me. I’m using my [Chinese New Year gift] money to buy her this dress.” I was touched that a child would know how to express their gratitude. I’m even more grateful to Master, because he taught me about compassion, thus enabling me to form a relationship with Xiao Xin and her daughter.

I told Xiao Xin about Falun Dafa and the persecution, and she quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), chosing a bright future for herself.

Xiao Xin’s younger brother is single and works in a nearby city. Since his workplace is closer to us than to his hometown, he often takes the bullet train to visit Xiao Xin, and helps my son with his business. I made dumplings, freezed them, and had him take them home.

My son treats Xiao Xin’s brother like family. Knowing he loves my fish dishes, my son told me, “Mom, please make your fish dish for Xiao Xin’s brother to take home.” I cooked the fish and had my son take it to Xiao Xin’s brother.

A while back, my son and Xiao Xin got engaged and received their marriage certificate. Both families gathered at a restaurant to celebrate. Xiao Xin’s brother looked at me warmly, the kind of warmth that family shares.

At the banquet, Xiao Xin’s mother praised my son, saying, “Your son takes after you in kindness. He’d rather give Xiao Xin the good food instead of eating it himself.”

Xiao Xin’s father beamed with joy, and told me, “You don’t need to cook too often for them. Let them cook for themselves.” I knew this was his way of expressing happiness.

When the time is right, I will talk to Xiao Xin’s parents and brother about Falun Dafa so they can all have a bright future.
